African Tribal Art
West Africa, Niger Delta, Mali, Djenne peoples, Middle Niger Civilization, ca. ca. 19th century CE. A lovely pair of pottery spouted jars, each hand-sculpted to present a globular body, a slender, tall, tapering spout, and a flared rim. Though the larger features a bare exterior, the more petite displays incised rings at the base of the neck, red slip on the shoulder and spout, and liberal remains of white-hued decoration on the body. Size of larger: 7.7" Diameter x 12" H (19.6 cm x 30.5 cm)
